Food: How Did I Become a Chef When I Set Up a Stall?

Chapter 122 I will come to the table openly and openly!

The system transfers money very quickly, which is comparable to recharging phone bills.

Jiang Feng’s small treasury has been enriched.

Moreover, Jiang Feng burned a big elbow during the banquet this time, but he was not tired at all.

The big banquet at Niu Feihu's house is talked about by people in the village.

Everyone knew that the restaurant in the city was being renovated, and the chefs came out to take over the banquet, so they all started thinking about it.

Some old men were eating melon seeds and chatting in the yard after finishing their farm work.

"Lao Niu's family really caught up. They originally booked a banquet cook from the next village, but that person was booked away by someone else at a high price, so they asked someone to find a restaurant with connections. The chef of the restaurant happened to be free."

“What else is this? I heard that their boss is very powerful, he is young, and he cooks very well. There are many people queuing up online to find him!”

“I’ve also seen it. Everyone on the Internet calls him a chef. He is really a chef. The elbow is so fragrant to me today. It will definitely taste delicious with the steamed buns dipped in the sauce.”

“The boss made the elbows. I heard they were booked again.”

"There are many people doing things, so someone must ask him."

This banquet became the center of everyone's discussion.

 This is how rural life is, everyone has a good face.

 Especially those who are a little richer.

Jiang Feng will take on a free job tomorrow.

  But for the chef, there is no difference, just cooking.

 After he made arrangements for the chefs, he ran to the place where the banquet was set to take a look.

There were many large wreaths placed in the farmyard, the door was open, and a large performance truck was parked outside. The host family members were all dressed in mourning clothes, and a few cries were heard from time to time.

Everything was normal at first, but on the stage set up by the body of a large truck parked outside the house, two young men and women were singing songs that were popular more than ten years ago. They were all powerful dance songs, and they danced very well.

Many villagers passed by and stopped to watch the performance.

 The people in the yard were mourning, and a few cries could be heard from time to time.

Outside the yard, it was extremely prosperous, and bursts of lively music came from the big speakers of the trucks.

 This is the local custom.

Jiang Feng watched the performance for a while and found it quite interesting.

I can’t say it’s pretty, I just join in the fun with the crowd.

The singer was a young girl in her twenties. She stood on the stage and had a clear view of what was going on below.

 The girl saw Jiang Feng at a glance.

 No way, it’s too obvious.

 There are all old men and women around, except this one who is young and handsome.

 Just because I looked at you one more time in the crowd.

Then the girl looked at Jiang Feng from time to time. After all, it was not a difficult choice whether to look at the handsome guy or the old man.

Jiang Feng looked at it for a while and then went to find the person hosting the banquet.

The family is in good condition and prosperous. After the old man passed away, many descendants came to visit.

Generally speaking, those who make big banquets in rural areas are small businesses, and the host will inevitably look down upon him. But Jiang Feng is different. After all, he is the owner of a large restaurant, so the host is extra polite to him.

Liu Erlei, who was doing the business, was dressed in white and looked very wealthy. He had the best conditions in the family, and he also spent money to buy this banquet.

“Boss Jiang, our family just hopes that Fengfengfeng will give the old man a good last journey.”

 “You must be attentive to this banquet.”

 Liu Erlei solemnly asked.

Jiang Feng nodded and readily agreed:

 “Don’t worry, no problem, I will come over in person.”

The two of them negotiated and Liu Erlei paid the deposit, and the matter was considered accepted.

He will be busy tomorrow, so Jiang Feng went home early to walk Xiao Hei and play with him.

 The next day, the chef team from Jiangyuetai Restaurant came to Liu Erlei’s house.

Two trucks roared over, and the chefs started busy moving ingredients.

Jiang Feng felt relaxed and was supervising from the side.

 It feels so comfortable to be the boss.

 You don’t have to do any work yourself.

 Being careful about things, some dishes could not be served. Jiang Feng communicated with Liu Erlei in advance and just cooked them according to the menu.

The dish Jiang Feng chose today was simple and unpretentious, so he was responsible for stewing the ribs.

Even the ribs are already cut and marinated.

There were quite a lot of people in rural areas in the previous generation. It was normal for a family to have seven or eight brothers and sisters. If you add a family member, you would have to travel with twenty or thirty people.

People in the village heard that the restaurant chef was coming, and people came over early to prepare for a banquet.

 In rural areas, all you need to do is follow the courtesy and go in and sit down.

 The scene was very lively.

 The villagers were talking about it.

“I heard that the Liu family invited all the chefs today.”

“I heard that the boss is very powerful. He sets up stalls everywhere, and there are always people queuing up wherever he goes!”

“I’ve heard about it too. It’s said that his craftsmanship is so good that you have to queue up to eat his food.”

“Let’s see what the boss does in a moment, let’s try his craftsmanship.”

 “Come just for him!”

Jiang Feng’s reputation is not small. After all, there are videos online and everyone knows him.

If he was just a hawker setting up a stall in the past, people would still look down upon him. But as a restaurant owner and chef, no one dares to despise him.

Liu Erlei’s village is a neighboring village to Niu Feihu’s village where he was working yesterday.

I heard that some people came here from the next village to do some free business.

 “Why are you here too?”

 Someone recognized them and asked.

“It’s not easy for us to come to mourn Grandma Liu’s death.”

 The people from the next village responded.

“I didn’t see you guys here when I announced the funeral. Now I’m here to have a feast. Are you sure you’re here to mourn?”

Seeing that their purpose was exposed, they shamelessly said:

 “It’s also a heartfelt intention.”

 Seeing their appearance, Liu Erlei's villagers suddenly became curious.

 It seems that yesterday's banquet was really good, otherwise these people wouldn't have made a special trip here.

Jiang Feng was sorting out the ingredients. At this time, he saw Liu Bao appearing in front of him.

 “Chef Jiang, long time no see.”

 Liu Bao greeted him.

Seeing Liu Bao, Jiang Feng raised his eyebrows and responded:

"Hello."

“I’m hosting a banquet here. Stop taking videos. If too many netizens come over, don’t cause trouble.”

Jiang Feng is worried about attracting too many unnecessary netizens.

At this time, traffic is a bad thing.

Hearing this, Liu Bao immediately said:

“Chef Jiang, don’t worry, I didn’t bring any equipment, and I didn’t take any videos.”

 “I understand the truth, and I won’t do this kind of thing just for the sake of traffic.”

 “We are just here to make a living in an open and honest manner.”

Jiang Feng didn't know how to evaluate Liu Bao's righteous words.

But just don’t take random pictures.

 “Okay, you can see for yourself.” Jiang Feng responded.

 Liu Bao made an OK gesture and left with his cousin.

He has strong social skills and is good at making things up. He can talk about the same thing, so it is easy for him to get into the big banquet in the countryside.

 The chefs began to prepare.

Jiang Feng originally planned to stew the pork ribs, but later he saw that he still had time, so he planned to cook one more dish.

 It’s too leisurely and I’m not used to it.

 In the past, it took several hours to fry.

“Lao Zhang, let me cook the Texas Braised Chicken. Ask He Tian to come over and help me.”

Jiang Feng said to Zhang Hu.

Zhang Hu is the executive chef and the chef in charge of the restaurant. He Tian is his apprentice. He is very down-to-earth and has stable cooking skills. Jiang Feng needs to talk to Zhang Hu about employing people.

“Okay, no problem.” Zhang Hu responded and asked He Tian to help Jiang Feng cook.

The Texas Braised Chicken is smeared with sauce inside and out, and it started marinating yesterday.

 But pickling is just the beginning, there are many processing steps.

Jiang Feng heated a pot of water, and He Tian processed the whole chicken according to Jiang Feng's requirements.

 All chickens need to have their nails trimmed and fixed in shape.

Then, Jiang Feng put the chicken in the pot and scalded it with hot water to make the chicken skin fall apart.

Then, Jiang Feng poured crystal honey on the chicken and began to massage it continuously to spread the honey evenly on the chicken.

 This step is the same as the method of using essential oils on the back in a massage club.

These chickens never imagined that they would be treated like this after death.

 The chef personally performs the massage.

 A well-deserved death.

 After the massage, it’s time to prepare the spice pack. Jiang Feng has a secret recipe and the spice pack has been prepared.

 Then heat the oil in the pan. Do not put the chicken in directly and fry it. Instead, use a slotted spoon to scoop the chicken and pour the hot oil on top of it one ladle at a time.

 This step is called frying. Soon, the chicken skin slowly begins to color and turns into a sauce-red color, slightly separated from the chicken.

 Finally, pick a pot of stock, add the spice bag, add various spices, and put the chicken in to stew.

 After stewing for two hours, the chicken is ready. It is crispy, fragrant and red, and has a long mouth. The bones and meat have been separated and it comes off as soon as it is taken off.

 There are more than a dozen chickens stewed in the pot.

The surroundings were constantly buzzing and bubbles were popping up.

 Jiang Feng closed the lid to allow all the nutrients to be absorbed into the chicken.

 Then, just wait for time to settle, and then start the banquet.

Dezhou Braised Chicken pays attention to skills and recipes.

If it is an authentic braised chicken restaurant, there will also be a special iron box for braised chicken.

But this is a village banquet, so there’s not much to pay attention to, as long as the meat is big and delicious.

Jiang Feng has completely integrated into rural life, and it feels quite good to stew a big pot of meat in an open environment.

 Still enjoying themselves.
